Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced Thursday he plans to return to the Senate next Monday after an absence of over a month.

"I am looking forward to returning to the Senate on Monday. We've got important business to tackle and big fights to win for Kentuckians and the American people," McConnell tweeted.

McConnell has been missing from the Senate since early March after sustaining a concussion and other injuries from a fall.

McConnell announced his return as a report, which has not been confirmed by Fox News, circulated suggesting other Republican senators were already jockeying for his post as Senate GOP leader.
